Choppy/Stuttering playback of MPEG2/VOB files
#1
Hi,

I'm seeing some issues when playing back MPEG2 content, such as VOB files.
The issue is that during playback the video stutters irregularly as well as regularly (e.g. stutter every second).

When the stutter is irregular, the video stutters at the exact same position when played back again. I've tested this on Raspbmc, Openelec and Xbian (all latest available builds) and the problem is identical for all (I did add the mpeg2 license to config.txt off course).

I tried to isolate the issue and installed a standalone version of omxplayer (http://omxplayer.sconde.net) and when the video is played back manually through omxplayer, all stuttering is gone and the file plays very nicely.

On the Raspbmc forum I've already posted about this issue as well (see http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=3400, in which I've posted a sample video which shows the issue (http://www.sendspace.com/file/r56dhu, VOB, 32MB, 35sec).

Since omxplayer does not seem to be the cause I'm thinking it might be an XBMC issue, so maybe this issue is better placed in this forum. I do not have any technical in-depth knowledge about xbmc, so have no idea where to continue from here on.

Maybe someone can follow up on this issue?
